Molecular Phylogenetic Techniques This workshop is FULL - wait list only
April 8, 2006

Anna Larsen
Location: Valley Life Sciences Building, UC Berkeley

Molecular techniques, particularly DNA sequencing, provide systematists with a wealth of data for phylogenetic analysis. Over the past two decades, the coupling of abundant molecular sequence data and improved techniques for phylogenetic reconstruction have vastly improved (and sometimes completely re-arranged) our understanding of green plant phylogeny and systematics.
In this workshop we will cover the basics of these fundamental molecular techniques. Participants will learn about chosing appropriate molecular markers, DNA extraction, PCR, sequencing, alignment, and phylogenetic analysis. This workshop will involve hands-on laboratory participation, so space is limited.
